Meganoid iOS new stuff

A new version of Meganoid for iOS is coming soon! This version brings some pure coolness. First thing I did to the new version is making it a universal app, so it will run in fullscreen on iPad! Some users strangely asked for a HD version, but obviously it will still be in sweet pixelart, just screen filling ;)

Another cool feature that is added is the support for the Joypad App, this means that if you have two devices (ipod and ipad for example) you can use the ipod as a game-controller for the game running on iPad. All you need for this is install Joypad on the ipod, and run Meganoid!  It runs without any extra settings required, and that’s pretty awesome actually.  As many Android gamers with keyboards, wiimotes, gamegripper or Xperia play devices will be able to tell you, the game is easier with good game controls like this ;)

And finally the update will fix some small bugs, there was a bug on level23 in Oreah mode, a bug with multitasking on newer iOS versions, and some other small things going wrong.. all fixed!

I plan to get the update uploaded to the Appstore in the next few days, including the 10 new Oreah levels found in the Android version.. so it’s coming!

  2. You only have to install Joypad on the device you want to use as a controller.. it then works over WiFi or Bluetooth (the game will automatically see the Joypad app)

  4. About iCade Support,
    can you change the button mapping (or include an alternate mapping) that makes using the iControlPad in iCade mode better? (currently you jump with start =P)

  5. yep it’s on the todo list, no iControlPad available so I just guessed for two buttons ;)

    I think we fixed it in Stardash, so Meganoid is next on the list!
